Kaberi Nodi

We do Tagore songs all the time, this is one of our most favorite jams and there was no other similar versions available on the internet that I could listen to. So I thought it’d be a nice idea to have it recorded. The guitar and the voice was recorded together live at Autonu’s place in Dinajpur, with the Rode iXY mic. I added some midi sounds later.


Kichu kotha:  

I spent hours trying to fix the sound, make it polished and professional, I failed and decided to keep it raw and live. It actually worked out brilliantly, I love it so much that I have been continuously listening to it since the final track was rendered. Because first of all, amazing and brilliant performance from Souvik, I wonder how he sang the whole song in one take with such perfection. And there is another very important factor, that it takes me to all those countless sessions with my people in countless locations starting from hostel er chaad to Khulna University er under construction Charukola to Tanguar Haor er random watch tower. 

I don’t usually miss the past, I prefer ‘complicated and difficult’ over ‘simpler and happier’, the present has usually been better for me. But looking at all my close ones getting busy growing up, a bitter realization has been getting on to me that the phase of life I was talking about is probably over. And it really makes me worried, what if it doesn’t get better this time? What if a bunch of strongly connected young souls resonating together and sharing a feeling of experiencing something almost spiritual is as magical as it gets?


So yes, I think this song is about holding on to those innocent human connections, it is about holding on to the magic.

This song is a a part of a series of classic bangla songs recreated with a simplistic approach and only a few instruments. The simplicity is compensated by the brilliant vocal performance of Divaaaa Tashfee :-)

I used to write lyrics and would try to put a tune on it back when I was in college. Yeah! There were some random stuffs...but some of the creations were my really favorite ones.
This song..."Oparthib" is one of my favorite songs...and this is probably the first complete song I have ever composed. The song carries many happy memories, memories back in college, memories of lost love....greater friendship...sleepless nights...and what not!!! :)

The song reflects the teenage search for that special feeling..."LOVE".... <3
It was composed at the end of 2011 maybe :)
After I composed it back then, I never thought I would work on it again after 4-5 years!!! I didn't even think before tonyt that I will be working on some love song! :p

All works in the song are done by me. That same old amateurish guitar play...meaningless and faulty solos...improper editing....and first time use of Cajon in recording.... :(

But I think the song came of "Not Bad" :D

Hope you will like it and correct me with your suggestions :) 

Oparthib

Well...this time I tried to do something different on my own. I have been into Rabindra Sangeet since childhood...and always wanted to do the magical songs in my own way. Here is a version of "এ কি লাবণ্যে পূর্ণ".
The best part of this sing, that amazes me most is the touch of classical and pure Rabindrik tones in the song. I tried to manage the set-ups according to my ability and after working with the song, I found that everything except the voice, was more or less pretty good.
This song describes the life full of wonders and the ultimate unite with the supreme soul.
Voice, Guitar, Cajon all are played by me.
I borrowed a picture from Shoumik Autonu's albums for the cover art work.
I hope you will enjoy the song.

গোয়ালঘর

আমার গোয়ালঘরে এসো, 
আমার গোয়ালঘরে এসো, 
আমার গোয়ালঘরে এসো, 
এঞ্জয় করব। 

এই গোয়ালঘরের মাঝে পাবে
অন্যরকম এক স্বাদ। 
একবার পেলে ভুলতে পারবে না 
সেই খরের উত্তাপ। 

গবাদি পশুর সুগন্ধে
ছেয়ে আছে এলাকা। 
রক্তের সম্পর্কে মেলামেশা, 
মিটে যাবে পিপাসা। 

আমার গোয়ালঘরে এসো, 
আমার গোয়ালঘরে এসো, 
আমার গোয়ালঘরে এসো, 
এঞ্জয় করব। 

পরের সকালে ঘুম ভেঙ্গে যায়, 
স্মৃতি কেন ভাঙ্গে না?
উচ্চ রক্তচাপ ও দেহের শিহরণ
এখনও মিটে না। 

সবার মনে প্রশ্ন একই, 
এ কেমন সুখ পাওয়া? 
হলো তবে এবারের ঈদে
মাংস প্রচুর খাওয়া। 

আমার গোয়ালঘরে এসো, 
আমার গোয়ালঘরে এসো, 
আমার গোয়ালঘরে এসো, 
এঞ্জয় করব।

Lyrics:

Remember when we started out
You seemed to give it all for me
And I would like to give it back
When the pressure starts to make you crack

Don’t worry it will turn out alright
Like how you’ve made it all bright

Oh, how I want it back

Remember when I ran about
In search of some identity
And I am myself no longer
Forever a little bit of you

Don’t worry it will turn out alright
Like how you’ve made it all bright

So free as a bird that I have to come to be
Is all in your words & the trust you put in me
So free, so be free, so be free, be free
So free, so be free, the kind that you made me

Don’t worry it will turn out alright
Like how you’ve made it all bright

What A Grad Song (IBA Grad '16)

স্বপ্নচূড়া

স্বপ্নের সিঁড়ি ভেঙ্গে, 
আজ বিশ্বজয়ের প্রান্তরে। 
ছুটে চল তোমরা
দামাল তারুণ্যের আহ্বানে। 

স্মৃতির খেরোখাতার হারানো পাতায়,
বর্ণিত প্রতি চরণে তোমাদের বিজয়। 

শুনি তোমার জয়দ্ধনি। 
গাই তোমাদেরই গান, 
তোমাদেরই আগমনের 
প্রতীক্ষায় পাতি কান। 

কাল তটে বদলায়, 
মুখগুলো রেখে জায়। 
অমলিন হাজারো 
স্মৃতি-হাসি-গানে পরিচয়। 

বেলা শেষে দিগন্ত 
মিশে গেছে এখানে। 
দেখি মরা বিস্ময়ের বেড়াজাল 
স্বপ্নের সারথি চিলে রবে চিরকাল।   

শুনি তোমার জয়দ্ধনি। 
গাই তোমাদেরই গান, 
তোমাদেরই আগমনের 
প্রতীক্ষায় পাতি কান। 

Bunker এর আড্ডা, 
Garage এর গাঞ্জা, 
Canteen এর সিঙ্গারা, 
আর নাই।
Sad.
